Printer (Canon Bubble-Jet) with only 128KB a good deal?

[thereaderrabbit]

Hello,

I was looking at buying a Canon Bubble-Jet BJC-3000, but don't understand if the 128KB of memory included with this model will cause issues. Is there a reason to have more memory on a printer? I know some models have quite a bit.

The old clunker I've got in the lab has 4MB and seems to have issues with memory. This is most apparent with plots (Win95, MS Excel).

Print speed has never been an issue and I would love to move past the 4 colors at 300x300 DPI I now have. I also have a USB port available on a Win2k system.

Memory in printers isn't a big issue, because of the Windows Printing System.
More memory just speeds up the processing of large documents and the like.
I manand to get by with 40 kB on my Canon BJC-255 SP (0.25 ppm @360 dpi colour!).
I am also looking to buy the BJC-3000.
